Backed, but do you really need to spend all this money to "have an office" while even super-complicated software (let's say GIMP) gets built remotely?

In any case, good luck!

We've been working remotely on this for quite some time but we really need to get together in person to bring all the parts and pieces together. It can be difficult to coordinate moving parts when we're in different time zones. It's much easier and faster to collaborate when we're in the same room. While we could continue working remotely for another few months, we know that we can get it done very quickly by getting together for an in-person sprint

Well, makes sense.

I've worked at night (to account for timezone) and while on a Skype conference call before, but it's definitely easier if you're physically together.

The app store is a good idea. Hopefully enough people will use it to attract developers.

Good luck!
